Dana 60 front axle

Does the 07 Dana 60 have king pins or ball joints? Can it be converted to king pins?

I believe "91" was the last year of the dana 60 kingpin in a Ford. There is no way to adapt a kingpin to a balljoint without cutting the axle up.

You may be right, but what is your source? Rock auto shows ball joints on an F350 in "92".

I know all the hard core off-roaders love kings pins for some reason, but the ball joint dana 60's aren't exactly weak or anything.

Even if you could…why? The D60 is plenty strong. The weak part is the hubs which can be fixed with a Dynatrac type kit. And they are only weak of you’re running huge tires with lots of offset wheels.and drive like a freaking animal . My 2001 just had its front end rebuilt at 160,000. My 99 had it done at 175,000.
